Council authorizes preparing letter to Exxon about road and drainage problems
Summary
Council members agreed to prepare and forward a formal notice to an Exxon store about local road and drainage problems; council also discussed grading as a likely fix and asked the city attorney to review the planned notice before it is sent.
The Tatum City Council authorized staff to prepare a formal letter to an Exxon store raising concerns about nearby road and drainage issues, Councilman Wendell Moore moved and Councilman JR Smith seconded the motion, which the council approved. Mayor Michael Henry told the council that many local road failures are caused by drainage problems and that grading work will be needed to address the underlying issues.
Council members said the city attorney had earlier advised that an ordinance specific to the issue might be required; the council therefore asked that the planned letter be reviewed by the city attorney before it is forwarded to the store owner. No ordinance was adopted at the meeting; the item was handled as a direction to prepare a legal review and a notice to the property owner.
